James Comey disclosure lays bare tensions among FBI agents, Justice Department officials

Federal agents are preparing to scour roughly 650,000 emails contained on the laptop of former Rep. Anthony Weiner to see how many relate to a prior probe of Hillary Clinton’s email use, as metadata on the device suggests there may be thousands sent to or from the private server...

The review will take weeks at a minimum to determine whether those messages are work-related emails between Huma Abedin, a close Clinton aide and the estranged wife of Mr. Weiner, and State Department officials;... and whether they include either classified information or important new evidence in the Clinton email probe, which FBI officials call “Midyear.”

...

The Justice Department official was “very pissed off,” according to one person close to Mr. McCabe, and pressed him to explain why the FBI was still chasing a matter the department considered dead. ...

"Are you telling me that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?” Mr. McCabe asked, according to people familiar with the conversation. After a pause, the official replied, “Of course not,” these people said.

For Mr. McCabe’s defenders, the exchange showed how he was stuck between an FBI office eager to pour more resources into a case and Justice Department leaders who didn’t think much of the case, one person said.

Those people said that following the call, Mr. McCabe reiterated past instructions to FBI agents that they were to keep pursuing the work within the authority they had. ...

Some FBI agents were dissatisfied with that answer, and asked for permission to make a similar request to federal prosecutors in Manhattan, according to people familiar with the matter. Mr. McCabe, these people said, told them no and added that they could not “go prosecutor-shopping.”

If the FBI processes these emails as fast as the State Dept does, they ought to finish sometime next century.

650,000 emails is a complete server back-up.

They may have found the Clinton email server.

Nobody can display as much anger and rage as somebody who KNOWS they had been in the wrong, thought they had gotten away clean, and gets nabbed by a small detail, or series of linked small details, that unravels the whole fabricated story.

And this is not a matter of “they just have to win”, they may no longer be able to. The optics are all wrong, there is no time to react effectively to the story, and the previously existing narrative has already attached to the Clinton Crime Syndicate.

Nearly thirty years of carefully groomed and assiduously attended “history” is about to go down the tubes.

Remember: Al Capone was taken down for not reporting taxable income (and not for organized crime involving murders).

If Anthony Weiner used UNIX, this is what his command line history would look like:

who | grep -i blonde | date; cd ~; unzip; touch; strip; finger; mount; fsck; gasp; yes; uptime; umount; make clean; sleep

How many of these emails are spam advertisements for penis enlargement.

You maybe right. I did not think of the volume. She deleted 33,000 and handed over how many? 45-50,000? This is another order of magnitude higher.

Also blows my theory that Huma forward them to Yahoo to print at home for tomorrow’s meetings. That would not be 650,000! Also explains why Huma has no idea how they got there.

So the IT guy, Combetta, did a remote RDP connection to Huma PC and backed up the email DB before the bleached it? Needed a place to hide it that might be outside a supena?

Who thought the good old Anthony would weiner up that whole plan

So now we can find out who committed perjury (all of them) and who obstructed justice (all of them) and was any Classified info not only mishandled (it was) BUT, BIG BUT, Was Classified info shared with a Foreign entity? If true you can put them next to the Rosenbergs in the history books.

Maybe Weiner’s machine (I heard it was a desktop a while ago) had a Carbonite-type backup situation with Hillary’s server. If each email produced propates 8 replies and 10 forwards, the ‘root’ emails would number....... how many?

Hint: The people driving this event already know what they are looking for. This is only a mere formality before they bring the hammer down.
